	Report Comment OSU Cowboy, (11/20/2009 4:26:56 PM) If Texas Tech wins Saturday then Oklahoma State locks down the Cotton bowl right? That would give everybody else 3 conference losses and the bedlam game would not matter as much if lost.
	Report Comment CowboyBobDog, Neamh (11/20/2009 4:37:31 PM) So we can call him Avis? (Bobdog wishes all a good weekend.)
	Report Comment MexiMike, Tulsa (11/20/2009 4:37:39 PM) OSU cowboy, that's pretty much correct. Although, if OU loses to Tech and we lose to OU, the Cotton Bowl may give the spot to Nebraska (if they represent the North in the Big 12 championship). Right now, I', just hoping Zac can get back to at least 90-95% so that he is ready to take on a tough OU defense. We'll definitely need his leadership and experience come Nov. 28th. Go Pokes!
	Report Comment Popeye, T-Town (11/20/2009 4:38:02 PM) Great job, Brandon!! You had to have worked very hard to perform like you did. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!!
	Report Comment OSU Cowboy, (11/20/2009 4:41:15 PM) Mike, Nebraska would have 3 conference losses..one to TT, ISU and then Texas and we would only have 2 so I don't see why they would chose that because we would have a lock on the number 2 spot in the conf.
	Report Comment Woofenburger, Hominy (11/20/2009 4:42:57 PM) Good Job Weeden! And good coaching Mr. Gundy. Find someone doing something right and reward that behavior. I like it!
	Report Comment closet chronicles, (11/20/2009 4:43:06 PM) No, the chance for an OSU BCS game, if OSU beats OU, trumps the Cotton Bowl.
	Report Comment OSU Cowboy, (11/20/2009 4:44:34 PM) I am just saying if the Fiesta bowl chooses Iowa which is what I am seeing from ESPN, CBSsports and rivals. I know that if we win out the Fiesta Bowl is an option
	Report Comment Jacky, small town Oklahoma (11/20/2009 4:50:56 PM) Good move Coach! Congrats Weeden! A well deserved promotion! (I don't see those much where I work!)
	Report Comment Cardinalsfan, Inola (11/20/2009 5:22:58 PM) Word is that the Fiesta Bowl would like to keep their tie in with the Big 12. So as long as Texas wins the conference championship game, and OSU beats OU, OSU should get the Fiesta Bowl.
	Report Comment Bumpey, (11/20/2009 5:37:51 PM) Keep dreaming OSU fans.
	Report Comment OUSooner2001, (11/20/2009 5:55:52 PM) I admire the guy for what he did last night. Congrats to him.
	Report Comment redbeard, Stillwater (11/20/2009 6:45:07 PM) I'm just glad Gundy put Weeden in when he did.The Cowboys had no passing offense in the first half against the Buffs. Hopefully Zac will be good to go against the Sooners next week.You KNOW they will be coming after him. Let the bedlam begin! Ride 'em Cowboys!
	Report Comment FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/20/2009 6:48:04 PM) Oh yes redbeard. Texas taught the Sooners how you go after a QB and change the whole game. Maybe Zac should sit out just one more game. Just to be safe.
	Report Comment bruinsooner, (11/20/2009 7:07:31 PM) The change in quarterbacks last night was needed. Weeden had some zip on the ball. Cate was throwing floaters and sometimes seemed to be just throwing it out there.
	Report Comment Elusive, Owasso (11/20/2009 7:56:02 PM) Good job Brandon, well deserved promotion!!
	Report Comment lamarfan, Lamar (11/20/2009 8:18:18 PM) All I can say is OSU was lucky lastnight, man if they were playing a good team they would have gotten blown out! For the first time I my life I hope OSU puts it on OU, OSU has really worked hard and the coaching staff has really done a good job the last three years. Happy for yea OSU!
	Report Comment The Masked Assassin, Parts Unknown (11/20/2009 9:24:32 PM) How many grandchildren did it say he had? Hey OSWho Cowboy, I thought your bowl game WAS Bedlam?
	Report Comment Rhymeister, International (11/21/2009 6:06:22 AM) Almost everyone saw that Cate wasn't gonna be able to get 'er done except Coach Gundy after two, three possessions.
	Report Comment DanDDiver, Vail, CO (11/21/2009 9:00:52 AM) Okay. OSU hangs in and comes back to win in a close one -- one OSU didn't play well in and it's "lucky"? ou has won a ton of games the same way and it's called "Sooner magic"? It just goes to show one how the OSU program has changed a lot of it's mental toughness and confidence to hang in, be patient, then come back to win. Look at the similarities in OSU and ou. Tons of injuries and losses of top players. Injured starting QBs, backup QBs, and a ton of excuses either team could use to lose, but OSU has prevailed and kept it's focus..and won. ou has faltered, made excuses, turned on it's coaches and players...and lost. I'd take OSU anyday.
	Report Comment Phred_53, Stillwater (11/21/2009 9:27:54 AM) When an athlete DEDICATES 4 years to your program, 1 redshirt and three as a backup, you show more than 10 minutes of loyalty to him.If you don't then recruiting becomes much more difficult. Cate deserved at least 4-5 drives. But Cate also deserved better play calling. Why did Gundy have him throw down field on every throw? Weeden's first pass was a screen to Hunter. Short throws build confidence. But int he end Weeden did the job Cate did not. Way to go POKES!
	Report Comment Eric, OKC, Oklahoma City (11/21/2009 9:52:07 AM) Phred_53, I wanted Cate to have an opportunity and he got it. I'm sure he practiced all week as QB1. He got a half to lead the team. He made the right reads, but the passes were all poorly thrown. Weeden played better. Plus he came in when the team was behind. He did a good job. I think Cate will have other opportunities, but Weeden obviously is QB2. I feel alot better if Zac is not back this week. At least we have a QB2 who can keep the offense competitive.
	Report Comment Stomp, Charlotte, NC...not in (11/21/2009 1:56:34 PM) "I'm not a practice player." Wow, what a bad comment. Just hope he doesn't bring the Allen Iverson attitude to practice. Quarterback is by default a team leader and are going to imitate his energy...that's what makes Zac Robinson so special. Just because you're talented and the game is easy for you, still gotta set an example for the rest of the team. That's leadership. Hope he gets inspired before next year...he definately looks to have the necessary skills to shine on the Big 12 stage next year.
